·I have just acquired a totally mint Omega Seamaster Co-Axial 300M James Bond 007 50th Anniversary which I intend to put away and keep unused. My experience with self-winding watches of any brand is totally zero. My question is: should I buy a winder and ‘exercise’ the watch every so often (and how often), or will the watch be perfectly fine lying idle, untouched for years (perhaps many)? I hope that this is not a stupid question. Any advice would be welcome.
For that matter, what is the opinion regarding leaving watches, in general, untouched year after year? Do oils degrade etc? I have watches in my collection which I have not worn or used since the 70s.
